"O le ala i le pule, le tautua"
"The pathway to authority is through service".
The concept of tautua includes the notion that where in order to lead, one must also serve. This is characteristic of not just Samoan but many Pacific leadership styles, where leadership is not necessarily about leading from the front but about the paradox of status through service.
